Deep Dive on the Modern Use of
Lithium: The Gold Standard Mood
Stabilizer
speaker: JonatHan Meyer, MD
traCk: Bipolar DisorDer
Clinicians who treat patients with a history of
mania historically turned to lithium as the go-to
mood stabilizer. More recently, concerns about
renal and other adverse effects have led some to
approach this treatment option with caution. This
presentation aims to provide clinicians with the most
up-to-date information on lithium's role in treating
bipolar patients, including dosing, kinetics, and
target serum levels. Additionally, the presentation
will cover the latest studies on lithium use during
breastfeeding and the most recent risk estimates for
first-trimester exposure during pregnancy. By the end
of the session, clinicians will be equipped with the
knowledge needed to use lithium confidently and
effectively in their practice.

Frontier of Addiction Psychiatry

traCk(s): aDDiCtion & suBstanCe use
DisorDers, teCHnology
Addiction to video games, cybersex, internet
gambling, social media, texting and emailing, and
online auctions can be as addictive as substances.
These technological addictions have real-world
ramifications and lead to the loss of jobs, money,
and loved ones. As technology becomes integrated
into many facets of modern life, the appreciation
of such addictions has become increasingly
challenging. This session will explore the addictive
potential of technology and discuss the legitimacy
of technological addictions as psychiatric conditions
worthy of medical assessment, diagnosis, and
treatment.

Assessment and Management of
Depressive Mixed States
speaker: Mark ZiMMerMan, MD
traCks: Depressive DisorDer, Bipolar
DisorDer
Depressive mixed states (DMX) is a condition
where individuals experience both depressive
symptoms and symptoms of mania or hypomania at
the same time. In this session we will delve into the
complexities of DMX and its diagnosis, as well as
the available treatment options. It is a challenging
diagnosis to make, as it often presents with atypical
symptoms that can be mistaken for other psychiatric
conditions. However, understanding the clinical
presentation of DMX is crucial for its accurate
diagnosis and successful treatment.
Treatment options may include a combination of
pharmacological interventions, psychotherapy, and
lifestyle modifications. Attendees will learn about the
evidence-based treatment approaches that have
been shown to be effective in managing DMX and
how to tailor these approaches to individual patients.
The session will be beneficial for mental health
professionals who encounter DMX in their practice
and wish to enhance their knowledge and skills in its
assessment and management.
